I don't really agree with this. This is the same argument that was ongoing when Bush was here. You could say "we are not a running team" if NONE of our backs did well. PT consistently gets yards. He can run any route, up the gut off tackle, pitch or sweep. Sprloes can do the same as well. The problem is Ingram needs more time. Some RB's take more time to aclimated to the speed of the NFL. Bush is prime example.

Ingram is a beast.We have good gaurds and everyone else sucks.The O line is giving up penetration on every play.Not just Ingram but Brees is getting beat up.I do think we will get it together this week though.
